Mitski - Goodbye, My Danish Sweetheart [Lyrics]

[izabellanapoles]

this is so painful. *plays on repeat and learns the lyrics*

[ihavenocluewhattonamemysel]

“And I don’t blame you if you want to bury me in your memory I’m not the girl I ought to be” oh god. “I’m not the way I used to be” OH GOD

[kiera]

Mitski is one of the best artists of our generation. Ive never disliked one song of hers, ever. She is truly a genius and i hope she gets more recognition rather than a few of her songs getting big on tiktok. She is truly grammy worthy. love her so much and wish the best on the rest of her career <3 this is one of my favs from hers including townie and first love/late spring.

UPDATE: im seeing THE mitski in her glory this year!!!

[sigridhere]

This is one of her most unknown songs and It's so goooddd

[lilac]

My mother used to play this for me when it first came out. It’s been my comfort song ever since

[Ayvryy]

I interpret this song as a girl that struggles with bpd wanting their lover to stay with her but she also sees herself as "too much" to handle and doesn't mean to hurt her lover.

Who ever disliked this video I hope their pillow is warm on both sides

[butteronie]

this song hits like a bus. because of my autism, my whole life ive grown up undesirable as a friend, girlfriend etc. no matter how hard I tried, all i seemed to do was push people away, and whenever I did have that special person, they’d move on quickly, and leave once they get bored of me. its not fun. its tiring.

[Marisa.eliass]

everything about what mitski talks about in this song is exactly what i'm feeling right now

[froggiecos]

Is it weird that this song reminds me of my relationship with my parents? The “Bury me in your memory, i’m not the girl i ought to be” and “i’m not who i used to be” really really hits hard for me as a transmasc, gay, autistic, mentally i’ll burnout gifted kid. I used to be a child prodigy and now i can barely get out of my bed. I know how much i’m disappointing them. They are like horrible parents both of them, but still i can’t bring myself to not feel bad about how i just failed them. All my friends are starting to become tired and weirded out by me i can feel it, and my partner never calls anymore, never tells me that they love me anymore etc etc. Everyone is just leaving. Both me and my partner are infact danish, so the title stands out even more to me, since i know that they’ll leave me soon.

[justanotherpersonwhoexists]

My heart: we're fine!
My brain: no, love. We're not this is our 40th time listening to this week and it's only monday

[wveyeon]

My boyfriend broke up with me a few minutes ago, i feel so lost. It was neither of our fault, sometimes people arent ready for commitment i understand but i didnt think it would hurt to be told "yes this is goodbye, imsorry"

[rychiohe]

To the 10 people who disliked, why do you keep pushing your emotions away 🤨

[hazraa]

"But could we be what we're meant to be?
I'm just about to beg you please"- MITSKI PLS SPARE MY SOUL

[ghostlastname]

the dislikes are from people who were crying and hit the dislike button on accident. luckily, i was one of the few crying folk who managed to hit the right one.

[bugboybeinganidiot]

This song makes me want to start an account with a friend where we dress up and kinda ballroom dance to music and specifically cottage core or slow violin songs, we wear masks to keep our privacy contained. Trust me, in my head it's beautiful.

[floridawatermusic]

i relate to every single lyric i hate that

[imthecoolestguyalive]

So we're all having an "I failed people who I love and/or love me, and I wish I was good enough for them, but I'm not, so all I can hope for is that these wonderful people forget me." moment? Okay.
I'm just gonna go ahead and misinterpret this song to be about someone struggling with their self-worth, and yet their friend/family member/lover stays at their side no matter what, and despite the singer's best attempts to convince them to leave, the other person refuses, and this helps the singer accept themself, move on, and be happy with that person, thanking them for staying by their side.
i just can't handle another sad ending i'm sorry i need something happy

That moment when your boyfriend is bi with a female preference but you’re a trans boy and have thoughts that haunt you in the back of your head that say “what if he sees me as a girl?” He loves you, he calls you handsome, corrects people when they call you the wrong pronouns, told his family you’re a boy, etc but you’ll always be insecure about it.

I’m crying. I’m in a relationship and im going to break up with him, I’ve changed I’m not the same with he first met me and I truly did loved him but now I just want him to forget about me. We weren’t meant to be. I had other eyes for other things but in my eyes he’s the best bf ever but sadly I have to break up with him and I feel so bad for it
